I once did a line of Skooma in the bathroom of The Nightgate Inn

[@HemmieHaru]

Wouldn’t that be a line of moon sugar tho cuz skooma is a liquid

[@Johnshauntedpizza]

[@lakehosken4016]

Can confirm. I sold them the skooma.

[@ArturoPladeado]

I just realized but the Winking Skeever on the inside is like 3 - 4 times bigger than the outside.

[@AcheronSolstice]

Shhh. No ones su post to know about that.

[@marichica3565]

tbh most Skyrim buildings are much larger inside than out

That’s any building

[@dofima1729]

okey so, out of all of these I would go drinking at : the riften inn I would go to rent a room at : the solitude inn and I would go to eat at : the whiterun inn

[@Sleeepy23]

[@alexanders2669]

If you went drinking at the Riften inn, you’d probably wake up with a headache naked and robbed of your belongings

[@dofima1729]

@@alexanders2669 ey high risk high reward, the drinks that argonian fella sells are probably very tasty

[@Phireo]

Are you crazy. Nightgate inn obviously has the best food.

[@brucespicer9732]

That's a great take lol

[@editorrbr2107]

Best Ambience: Winking Skeever Best Traditional Pub: Bannered Mare Best Dive Bar: Bee & Barb Most Interesting Patrons: Retching Netch Best Bartender: Retching Netch Most Unsettling Bar: New Gnisis Best Place for a Bar Fight: Candlehearth Hall

[@princekrazie]

You forgot about what happened in the Bee and Barb inn... Queen Barenziah had a rather... amorous encounter in this place.

I had no idea the Drunken Huntsman and Gnisis Cornerclub were taverns until watching this

[@famweefood7073]

The guards even say, why don’t they just call it a tavern

[@Lolpy.]

@@famweefood7073 Because it’s a little unique. That’s why I like the corner club, the Drunken Huntsman is kind of lame though.

[@izzyjevsk804]

cornerclubs in morrowind are taverns so yeah 👀

[@SirTayluh]

Technically in game it's labeled as a fletcher like the one in solitude, they just made it more tavern-like because nazeems house was never finished and they had to stick him somewhere.

[@KohenBlassingame]

Long story-short, use distinct interiors!

[@KohenBlassingame]

(It’s a mod)

[@Mistahpope]

Idk why but I think the tavern in winter hold has a certain charm to it

[@boyethewise1728]

Long short history... Check your modlist before changing the meshes

[@Arthur-cc6pc]

That mod needs like 10 patches just to work.

[@KohenBlassingame]

@@Arthur-cc6pc sure if you have legacy installed lol

[@cdcdrr]

Another positive of the Bannered Mare: it's the place Jarl Balgruuf sneaks off to when he wants to speak to his people and hear out their concerns. It's the only inn in Skyrim that has the Jarl Ballin' Seal of Quality.

[@tinychewb4cca225]

11:26 “the company ain’t that bad” (Rolff Stone-fist comes up the stairs)

[@tylergreen441]

I vote for The Retching Netch! 1) Personable, memorable inkeeper 2) Very unique 3) Thankful citizens 4) Feels like Solstheim’s family room

[@FaustofInsanity]

I have to point out that Nightgate Inn is also the home of a former member of the Blades who is now in hiding.

[@nobodyspecial115]

If I'm not mistaken there was suppose to be a little town around it kind of like Ivarstead but it got cut.

[@malonmido7675]

Old Hroldan inn will always hold a special place in my heart because the big room in that inn is where I slept for the first time then woke up in a old shack and saw Astrid for the first time.

[@bpouelas]

Windpeak Inn for me was the first place it happened for me, but Old Hroldan is one of my favorites, easily the best of the "generic" inns imo

[@eslbehplten525]

You didn't mention how you can "own" the bed in The Bannered Mare if you give the owner firewood. You won't have to rent a room at all, plus everything is available to take except for the higher value items of course.

[@bodymuezik]

There is a bed roll you can sleep on without paying in Vilemyr Inn

[@theethniccleanser1385]

This is true for most inns if you complete a quest for the inn

[@janbiel1221]

Me as a thief: so... I can take everything, right?

[@hinanitkoltai918]

This channel is great.

[@Cuatalata]

my one complaint about the winking skeever is the stupid plant to the right as you enter. I have accidentally "Stolen" that evil plant SO many times and pissed everybody off having to reload to avoid getting skewered. IT IS A FLOWER! PEOPLE CHILL I AM SORRY!

[@wisemankugelmemicus1701]

Slight correction, mead is constantly referred to as being “warm” throughout Skyrim, and historically, it was prepared over a warm fire That’s all. Otherwise 10/10 video.

[@fariyanahmed6592]

i was gonna say this

[@SeviathTheHumanDrago]

Nice catch! There's cut content for the college that had a pair of apprentices trying to chill the mead. But I guess being in a cold climate would make it colder overall if not ice cold in places like windhelm.

[@user-tk8gi5cl6j]

Historically, mead was served both cold and warm. It's like honey beer. In America they prefer to drink beer cold. In England - warm beer. So any variant is good.

[@wisemankugelmemicus1701]

@@user-tk8gi5cl6j that’s true

[@user-tk8gi5cl6j]

If you were playing Winterhold college carefully you could find out that two missing nord apprentices experimented with mead. They tried to make it even more delicious by cooling it with frost magic. Nord mead that always remains extra cold even in the middle of hot summer in Hammerfell. That must be fantastic!

[@crimsonholocene949]

The fact that your wife was so proud that one of your videos did well and read every single comment is so wholesome, it made my day.

I *NEVER* noticed the Sleeping Giant Inn sign design! 😱

[@HPD1171]

Nightgale inn should be ranked much higher with survival mode. i still remember my first time traveling back from winter hold and was freezing with no camping supplies or hot soups and i just so happened to be near that inn and you do not realize how usefull an inn is in the middle of Antarctica i mean Skyrim until you are in the middle of nowhere freezing to death. That moment made me rethink my entire stance on that inn's existence.

[@grimgrauman7650]

In survival mode most inns get much more interesting. Without it you realy have no need of ever going into an inn

[@MortimerFolchert]

Where's "The Ragged Flaggon"? Especially, after u get the Amulet of Articulation for restoring the Tavern to its former glory, it's quite a nice place. Unique af. And the Vilemyr Inn should be a lot higher on the list, you didn't go into Lore/Location for it. It's right at the Bottom of High Hrothgar, which means lots of Pilgrims every year. It's an essential Inn for a lot of people. Second, you do know the Location of Ivarstead right. On one Side the Throat of the World on the other the waterfalls going down to Fort Amol. Beautiful sight. Also the Waterway to Riften. This is a premium Location for an Inn. Wished Delphine was there. Would've made more sense, since if there's gonna be a Dragonborn it would come by Ivarstead to climb the official road to high Hrothgar instead of the small road from Riverwood to High Hrothgar

[@zors5188]

This channel is keeping our Skyrim love on KZbin alive! Awesome stuff.

[@krudmonger]

At first I was thinking "Wait a minute, these don't look anything like the layouts that I'm familiar with," before suddenly remembering I've been using city revamp mods for over half a decade. I'd forgotten how dull and lifeless vanilla Skyrim taverns are.

[@draccoonxcii1288]

The fact that The Retching Netch's backstory was basically a _Twister_ reference REALLY threw me for a loop.

[@user-tk8gi5cl6j]

Orcs and redguard are kinda respected by the nords. Imperials and bretons are more or less okay too.

[@GrizzyLatrizzy]

I give bonus points to the Dawnstar tavern because the bard has Ysolda's voice, and she goes ham on "Ragnar the Red."

Dont forget that the sleeping giant inn is like, one of, if not the only generic inns to have room doors on the inside

[@Janoha17]

It's also the first tavern most players will enter, so the generic layout doesn't feel generic when it's first encountered.

Nightgate inn is always a pit stop when heading up to dawn star or the college while playing survival mode. Great guys to wait through the bitter cold nights.

[@pitchforker3304]

There is Honningbrew Meadery outside Whiterun, also. It doubles as a fence for the Thieves Guild.

You should do this for Oblivion, where the inns all feel very unique even when they have the genetic layout.

My suspicion is that inns outside of big cities are part of a big accomodation/restaurant business chain which has standardised all the inns. Kinda like motels or gas stations in real life.
